Rossi runner-up in Monza Rally Show
Monday, 25 November 2013
There may be a shortage of MotoGP™ track action at present for nine-time World Champion Valentino Rossi, but that didn’t stop the Italian taking to the tarmac last weekend as he finished runner-up in the Monza Rally Show.
Three times a winner of the event, Yamaha Factory Racing rider Rossi - at the wheel of a Ford Fiesta RS WRC – had travelled to the iconic circuit on the outskirts of Milan to tackle nine asphalt stages. He would finish second only to Citroen World Rally Championship star Dani Sordo, with a 10.6-second margin between the duo.
Rossi, competing alongside Carlo Cassina who served as co-driver, also finished second to Spain’s Sordo in the Master Show knock-out tournament, while endurance driver Rinaldo ‘Dindo’ Capello completed the overall podium in a Citroen.
